When clicking the dropdown form The first option is "QStorm" I'm questioning why its listed so high It seems outside of the norm

List is sorted by popularity

Just like https://poal.co/subs

Thanks for the explanation/link. I'm definitely prying when I ask this, but what's your takeaway on the whole post Voat Q influx?

You don't strike me as someone who was ever a Q-supporter yourself, but more of a free speech absolutist. Did the Q-crowd weaken/spam up the site? Did the increased traffic seem botted, funded, state sponsored, or otherwise artificial?

At first they tried to flood default subs with Q related content, but eventually kept them in Q related subs.

These subs can be easily blocked by users who aren't interested with Q news.

Well I'm glad you had a structural fix. Wish you'd answer the other Qs but understand being tight lipped. I'll stop prying for now.

The list appears to be ordered by overall posting activity. While it's not very active now, it was extremely active in the past so it still ranks above other currently popular subs.

No, they acted as a Q related catch all subs which covered most of the subverse subject categories on POAL. Especially usnews, worlrnews, geopolitical, stateofcorruption, deepstateexposed, elections, covid19 and others that pertained to Q related issues. The Anons using QStorm/QPatriots were told by Crensch to stay on these two subverses, to not post on the other subs with Q material to keep the peace with everyone else here at the time. What happened was most articles posted in the Q subs were also posted by non Q Anons in the non Q subs. Anyone hanging out on the s/all page saw a lot of duplicate posts. QStorm is at the top of the list because it was literally like adding most of the posts in the aforementioned non-Q subs into the QStorm sub ... a huge number compared to the other individual subs and so it is at the top of the list. The QPatriot sub would also be listed in 1st or 2nd place except that sub was closed.

makes sense, Did they gradually lose interest or mass migrate?

A lot of them split quietly after Jan 20, 2021 when they realized Trump wasn't going to be president again. The ones who stuck around have slowly gone silent or left by either realizing they were duped or feeling outnumbered here by people who never bought into the whole "we're going to be saved by patriots so do nothing" (((psyop))). There are a few diehards who still keep the (((ruse))) alive, but they are alone for the most part and no longer have an (((echo chamber))) to feed them. It's sad to see that so many were fooled. Many such cases.

About half of the crowd on VOAT/v/GreatAwakening and a few other subs came for QStorm and QPatriots subs in Dec 2020. Some left after the 2021 Inauguration. Some left after Crensch stopped modding. Some left after it was obvious Q stopped posting. Some were banned for while but never came back. Some departed because of the evolution of POAL and wanted a more Trump/Q centric site. It has been a slow migration.

Lol Crensch, that's a name I haven't heard in a while and I'm glad for it.

"Some were banned" System wide? Good on

Because qfags are spammy as hell.

It doesn't seem to be nearly the most active community. Why the top billing?
